Nigerien
a citizen of the west African nation of Niger, once a part of the former French West Africa colony. 'Nigerien' is NOT to be confused with the word 'Nigerian' which refers to a citizen of neighboring Nigeria. And contrary to ignorance and popular misconceptions, the nation's name 'Niger' refers to the Niger River and the proper pronunciation is 'NIGH-jehr', NOT, NOT, NOT 'nigger'. 'Nigger' is an ugly racist word derived from the now unused word 'niggard' which originally denoted a lazy person (it's in some Shakespeare works) and DID NOT have racist overtones whatsoever. But Shakespeare lived in the 16th - 17th centuries and this is 2022, isn't it?
Mdou Moctar is getting some attention from the rock press recently and with good reason. He is an innovative Nigerien psychedelic guitarist who fuses Saharan African musical textures to his rock'n'roll. He sings and writes mostly in his native Tuareg language, and he's put out two CDs. The latest is from 2021, Rolling Stone magazine rated it four out of five stars. I saw and met him and his band live in a club in 2019 and the show was outstanding. Check him out, he's a new 21st century guitar hero.

The Nigerian Hustle
In the early 1960's the communists were still spreading, the word of communism and socialism spread to Africa to a variety of different countries, the Africans had/have a significantly lower IQ than other regions on Earth. So to put it in a simple way, they have sponge brains, they are able to take in portions of information, as though they could not make their own intelligent declarations about any new ideas that they have heard of. So when communism made its way to African countries, not many were greatly effected, except when it came to Nigeria, It has changed the future for the people of nations, Especially the United States of America. In the early 1970's the soviets began sending secret intelligence agents to the country known as Nigeria. They then taught the African people of Nigeria important skills which were used as a weapon against the American people. They realize that there is a universal connection between something. Music... Most people can confirm it aswell that they enjoy music from other countries even though they may not know the backstory of the words that are being poetically spoken. Anyways, The Soviet trained Nigerians are secretly brought to the United States of America as immigrants and then later have their identity changed secretly to make it seem as they were from the USA all along. They then proceeded to use their training to create music taught by the soviets to degrade the American citizens.
